WILL CHAMPION: The first time we all played as a band, I think it was in January 1998, in Jonny's bedroom. We were all at university [university College London] together: Jonny and Chris lived together with two other guys up in Camden [Town], in north London. The first song we ever played was called "Ode to Deodorant."

 

MD: Deodorant?

 

WC: Yeah. [both laugh] It was one of the first songs we ever wrote together.

 

MD: What was that about?

 

WC: Well, surprisingly enough, deodorant. It had a good ending and a good bass line, but it was a crappy song, and we played it for about two hours. I had the number of a local promoter; we phoned him up right after our first rehearsal and asked, "Can we have a gig?" And he said, "Yeah, but you have to bring 25 people." So we just told everyone we knew. Two weeks later, we played our first concert and had 100 people there. It was pretty cool.

 

MD: And you played a 20-minute version of "Ode to Deodorant"?

 

WC: No, no! We played six songs; then they wanted an encore, so we played the second song again. [both laugh]

 

MD: How many of those songs showed up on Coldplay's first album?

 

WC: "High Speed" we might have been played, and a song called "Panic," which then became "Don't Panic."

 

extract from an interview (http://www.findarticles.com/p/articles/mi_m1285/is_7_33/ai_105735865)

 

Now, we can say:

1. Panic and Don't Panic are the same songs

2. The setlist of the first gig evere performed included Panic, High Speed, Ode To Deodorant and Brothers and Sisters

3. Ode To Deodorant it's one of the first song ever written, not properly the first! So...it's true to say that 'So Sad' it's the very first song ever written by Coldplay!

Nice find! :)

Am I missing something? Where does it say that 'Brothers & Sisters' was in their first set list? 'Panic' I have and it is 'Don't Panic'.

It's Phil Harvery by the way. Also, they have only performed as Starfish even though they will have thought of many names. Pectoralz was a boy band concept they were having a laugh with.

:confused:

But is it correct to say that originally

 

Dont Panic was called " John Squire Panic "

then "Panic" followed by " Dont Panic " ??

 

And TY Debs for your input ... BTW

 

:)

According to Nite, this is the setlist:

 

If all else fails

So sad

Rock song

Vitamins

Ode

John Squire > (Panic) > (Dont Panic)

 

 

So i think it's this!

thanks for the info!

Where are you getting this "John Squire" as a previous title of the song from? He's a famous guitarist! He was in the Stone Roses (& Seahorses) but Panic - Don't Panic wasn't ever called that...... to my knowledge. I have never heard If All Else Fails (it rings a bell though....) or Rock Song. I have Vitamins so that makes sense.

So, Debs, if you have, post Vitamine! :-)

well im getting this info from Chris Martin's mouth

on the interview i will soon be posting in Multi-Media section

 

Gimme 30 mins and everyone can then download and decide for themselves.

 

Nitehawk ...
